Haverstock-hill, N.W. June 30, 1871 


Sir, 

I have declared in The Daily News—and you have reprinted in 
The Pall Mall—that I hold myself alone responsible for the 
charges brought forward against “Jules Favre and Co.”* 

In your yesterday’s publication you declare these charges to be 
“libels.”” I declare you to be a libeller. It is no fault of mine that 
you are aS ignorant as arrogant. If we lived on the Continent, I 
should call you to account in another way.— 


Obediently, 
Karl Marx
